Some of his friends said at his service that this better not be one of his practical jokes like the elaborate wrestling one.

Latka Gravis is alive?

Not roll-on-the-floor funny but an enduring character that so well fits the NY experience.

Back in the day I was a waiter at the famous Carnegie Deli in NYC. He was there one night with a party of 8 and just sat at the end of the table staring straight ahead through the entire meal. He did not eat or say a word to anyone all night. Very strange guy.

15 years or so ago I read a book that made the case that Elvis is alive. It had all sorts of reasons, facts, and tidbits... And it really was quite convincing.

The guy got up and lip synced the Mighty Mouse song on the hottest new show on TV. I’ll bet you he made a fortune out of pulling television’s chain.

Steve Allen, in a book about young comedians, made the comment that you could look into Andy Kaufman’s eyes and “not know who was driving.”

I don’t care for either Kaufman or Carrey.

Neither do I, but for what it was, I have to give Carrey credit for the job he did in the movie.

I think it would be the height of hilarity, if Kaufman really DID fake his death, and resurfaced after three decades.

“Hey everybody, it’s me, Andy Kaufman! It was all a joke!”

And the masses reply, “Andy Who?”

I remember watching 'Late Night' when Kaufmann and Lawler were on - Letterman seemed genuinely uncomfortable at the hostility between the two, apparently he wasn't in on the joke. And Kaufmann's last appearance on the 'Friday's TV show - Larry David looked sincerely pissed off.
